Stortinget (Oslo, Norway) by courthouselover

Stortinget (Oslo, Norway)

The Storting (Stortinget in Norwegian, literally meaning  'the Great Thing') is the supreme legislature of Norway, established in 1814 by the Constitution of Norway, located in Oslo. The unicameral parliament has 169 members and is elected every four years based on party-list proportional representation in nineteen multi-seat constituencies. A member of the Storting is known in Norwegian as a stortingsrepresentant, literally "Storting representative."

Since March 5, 1866, parliament has met in the Parliament of Norway Building at Karl Johans gate 22 in Oslo. The building was designed by the Swedish architect Emil Victor Langlet and is built featuring yellow brick with details and basement in light gray granite. It is a combination of several styles, including inspirations from France and Italy. Parliamentary offices and meeting rooms are also housed in nearby buildings, since the Parliament building is too small to hold all the current staff of the legislature.

Information from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storting

Oslo is the capital and most populous city of Norway. It constitutes both a county and a municipality. The municipality of Oslo had a population of 709,037 in 2022, while the city's greater urban area had a population of 1,064,235 in 2022 with a metropolitan population estimated at 1,546,706 in 2021.

During the Viking Age, the area was part of Viken. Oslo was founded as a city at the end of the Viking Age in 1040 under the name Ánslo, and established as a kaupstad or trading place in 1048 by Harald Hardrada. The city was elevated to a bishopric in 1070 and a capital under Haakon V of Norway around the year 1300. Personal unions with Denmark from 1397 to 1523 and again from 1536 to 1814 reduced its influence. After being destroyed by a fire in 1624, during the reign of King Christian IV, a new city was built closer to Akershus Fortress and named Christiania in honor of the king. It became a municipality (formannskapsdistrikt) on January 1, 1838. The city functioned as the capital of Norway during the 1814-1905 union between Sweden and Norway. From 1877, the city's name was spelled Kristiania in government usage, a spelling that was adopted by the municipal authorities in 1897, although 'Christiania' was also used. In 1925, the city was renamed Oslo.

Oslo is the economic and governmental center of Norway. The city is also a hub of Norwegian trade, banking, industry and shipping. It is an important hub for maritime industries and maritime trade in Europe.

Oslo Rådhus (Oslo, Norway)

Oslo City Hall (Oslo rådhus in Norwegian) is a municipal building that houses the city council, the city's administration, and various other municipal organizations. The building as it stands today was constructed between 1931 and 1950, with an interruption during the Second World War. It was designed by architects Arnstein Arneberg and Magnus Poulsson. The building is located in the city center, in the northern part of the Pipervika neighborhood, and it faces Oslofjord.

Oslo City Hall is built of red brick and has two towers, one 207-feet-tall (63 meters) and the other 217-feet-tall (66 meters). The bricks used are larger than what was typical at the time of construction, but are roughly the same size as bricks used in the Middle Ages. The bricks were produced by Hovin Teglverk in Oslo. The eastern tower has a carillon set of 49 bells. Various events and ceremonies take place in the building, notably the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, which takes place every December.

After being destroyed by a fire in 1624, during the reign of King Christian IV, a new city was built closer to Akershus Fortress and named Christiania in honor of the king. It became a municipality (formannskapsdistrikt) on January 1, 1838. The city functioned as the capital of Norway during the 1814-1905 union between Sweden and Norway. From 1877, the city's name was spelled Kristiania in government usage, a spelling that was adopted by the municipal authorities in 1897, although 'Christiania' was also used. In 1925, the city was renamed Oslo.

Oslo is the economic and governmental center of Norway. The city is also a hub of Norwegian trade, banking, industry and shipping. It is an important hub for maritime industries and maritime trade in Europe.

Stortinget (Oslo, Norway)

The Storting (Stortinget in Norwegian, literally meaning  'the Great Thing') is the supreme legislature of Norway, established in 1814 by the Constitution of Norway, located in Oslo. The unicameral parliament has 169 members and is elected every four years based on party-list proportional representation in nineteen multi-seat constituencies. A member of the Storting is known in Norwegian as a stortingsrepresentant, literally "Storting representative."

Since March 5, 1866, parliament has met in the Parliament of Norway Building at Karl Johans gate 22 in Oslo. The building was designed by the Swedish architect Emil Victor Langlet and is built featuring yellow brick with details and basement in light gray granite. It is a combination of several styles, including inspirations from France and Italy. Parliamentary offices and meeting rooms are also housed in nearby buildings, since the Parliament building is too small to hold all the current staff of the legislature.

Oslo is the capital and most populous city of Norway. It constitutes both a county and a municipality. The municipality of Oslo had a population of 709,037 in 2022, while the city's greater urban area had a population of 1,064,235 in 2022 with a metropolitan population estimated at 1,546,706 in 2021.

During the Viking Age, the area was part of Viken. Oslo was founded as a city at the end of the Viking Age in 1040 under the name Ánslo, and established as a kaupstad or trading place in 1048 by Harald Hardrada. The city was elevated to a bishopric in 1070 and a capital under Haakon V of Norway around the year 1300. Personal unions with Denmark from 1397 to 1523 and again from 1536 to 1814 reduced its influence. After being destroyed by a fire in 1624, during the reign of King Christian IV, a new city was built closer to Akershus Fortress and named Christiania in honor of the king. It became a municipality (formannskapsdistrikt) on January 1, 1838. The city functioned as the capital of Norway during the 1814-1905 union between Sweden and Norway.
